A number of the club members were again able to enjoy a beautiful Thai dinner which was hosted by Sangpien and Steven in their home.

Sangpien showed us a short video of her last visit to her home town in Thailand and the things she could do with money raised from these dinners. Sangpien also introduced us to Modeste, a Burundian with whom he worked with during his visit to Burundi.

We also celebrated Ian’s birthday.

Past President Denise presented a cheque to help with the cost of feeding the Volunteers assisting those, who suffered due the Sampson Flat bush fire January 2015 to Louise Hay, in her capacity representing Habitat for Humanity.

The Rotary Club of Modbury Golden Grove is delighted to be able to support and encourage Courtnie Caldinez in her imminent journey to Laos.

Courtnie writes:

In January 2016 I will be travelling to Laos with the Volunteer Eco Students Abroad (VESA) program.  Whilst I am there I will visit Vientane, Luang Prabang and Vang Vieng and take part in an important sustainable community development and Elephant rehabilitation project.  We will work in conjunction with the Elephant Conservation Centre in Sayaboury and in the local schools.
